hahah sheeesh raptor, sometimes ur sense of humor is so, so off...
No, it is not. We have weights ranging from 1.25 kg to 25 kg. So 25 kg is the biggest plate. That was the idea. I actually know 50 kg plates in my old gym (110 lbs). I guess squatting 3 of these on each side of the bar would be pretty good. 3 plates baby!

« on: August 16, 2011, 04:51:56 pm »-Impossible to be 6' / 6'1'' wingspan / 31'' maximum running vert and be able to dunk 10'. I am 6'1'' with 6'5'' wingspan and i still need ~34'' to dunk.
Huh? I'm 6'0 with a 6'2 wingspan and I can dunk with a ~30 inch vert. I just need to get my thumb of the palming hand over the rim and that's it.
WTF? You would have to palm the ball damn good , and i still doubt you could do it. What is your standing reach? Mine is 7'11'', 30'' is only 10'5'' for me.
Generally i'd say you need 8 - 10 inches above rim to dunk clean , i'd accept 7'' with perfect palming and timing and everything, but 5'' is pushing it too much.
On a SLRVJ, you don't really lose height on your jump with the ball, and I agree with Raptor, you can (not all the time) but dunk with 5-6inches over the rim. If you have a powerful arm swing with the ball, the ball with hover on your fingers (not palm)and you can swing it hard to dunk it without losing control of the ball. No?
I have dunked clean on a 9'6" rim before when I was jumping 35" at max (10'0" touch) using what I described above.
7'11 reach for me as well. But if I have a 6'2 wingspan and you have a 6'5 wingspan (how do you have such a HUGE wingspan?!?!) how can we reach the same height? You must have a really high neck and long head or something, so the 6'5 wingspan loses length to cover that distance. WTF
BTW - I can't dunk without palming the ball. Not even at lower rims.

« on: August 16, 2011, 04:25:11 pm »is sickinvendetta being serious? i think he's just trolling.
Ever since that NBA players training thread, I think he's enjoying trolling this forum
I actually think he's serious. And I kind of get where he aims at with his ideas, but he's not hitting the right stuff.
Twisting in a one-leg jump instead of coming up liniarily and jump definitely helps in my experience (if anything, the center of gravity gets a better trajectory and more muscles can be utilized/better leverage is obtained).

Well here there isn't such a thing. Or none that I know of at least. But that's because, you know, we rock and all that.

My voice is really annoying for me (and for others too ) because I can "sing" in a certain octave and the just jump over some octaves so that I can sing again. I can generate the notes but I can't sing in a certain "mid-area" space if you will. It's really annoying.

Let me quote from squidward:

OK, maybe that wasn't such a good idea...
